When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes | Read More »
I have heard Michael Steele’s comments regarding Afghanistan and the President. I have read the RNC’s statement on the matter. The RNC statement is indecipherable in the context of what Michael Steele actually said. The war in Afghanistan is not a war of Barack Obama’s choosing. It is a war of Al Qaeda and the Taliban’s choosing. We responded. Michael Steele must resign. He has | Read More »

The effort to repeal Obamacare continues to gain steam. The King discharge petition, backed by Heritage Action, now has 94 Members on board. But it is still a wonder why it is taking so long for the other Members–both Republican and the Democrats who claim to oppose Obamacare–to sign? Every time these Members vote, they have an opportunity to go and sign on the dotted | Read More »
From the mail bag: After reading your post, I wasted 30 minutes waiting on hold to talk to a human at NRA. I finally got a guy – I think he said his name was “Tag” – who was in full defense mode on all the good stuff Harry Reid had done, all his votes, how they gave him a B Grade, how he wrote | Read More »
I’m getting a lot of emails from people saying the NRA has not endorsed Harry Reid in Nevada. As I said in the original post: no, the NRA has not endorsed Harry Reid. But they are planning to unless we bring pressure to bear on them. But here’s the other thing: Sharron Angle has been a true patriot on 2nd Amendment issues in the Nevada | Read More »
I met with Pamela in Arizona shortly after she’d been to the desert shooting. She and her son are both great shots. And she has a great shot at getting to Congress if we are willing to step up and help her. Give what you can.
Jane Norton gave the Colorado Statesman a very eye opening interview. First, she walked back some of the attacks her campaign has been making on Ken Buck. Second, she again couldn’t remember key details to questions and had to rely on Cinamon, though not by name this time. Third, when asked who she wanted as a mentor in the United States Senate, Jane Norton said | Read More »

September 17 to September 19, 2010 we’ll be in Austin, TX rubbing in the noses of the hippies our support for Arizona. That Friday night we’re planning a pretty impressive surprise for both the attendees and a particular person who | Read More »
Multiple sources tell me the National Rifle Association is planning to endorse liberal Harry Reid against pro-gun champion Sharron Angle. Two weeks ago, I told you about the carveout the NRA received in exchange for their support for the DISCLOSE ACT deal. Then this week, RedState broke the story of the “gag order” the NRA issued to members of its Board on the Kagan nomination. | Read More »

Eric Cantor and John Boehner are out today spinning furiously that their discharge petition is better than Steve King’s discharge petition. Except there is a fundamental flaw: they have a premature discharge problem. No, premature discharge is not a problem that can be cured with a pill. In order to have a discharge petition, the legislation to be discharged — that is forced to the | Read More »
Well, it is official. Eric Cantor and John Boehner — particularly Eric Cantor — have decided they don’t need or want conservatives and, more troubling, do not have any intention of trying to win at the polls by forcing Democrat hands on Obamacare. Our leadership is behaving badly. Last week and on Monday I mentioned Rep. Steve King’s effort to repeal Obamacare and start over. | Read More »

One of the toughest things about my job is that it is very hard to make and keep friends in the political arena. Not that I intended to, but I have become known as the guy who keeps our side in line. With that, I have arrived at the age where friends of mine decide to run for political office and want my endorsement. It | Read More »
